There is nothing more exciting in science teaching than transforming students into effective, enthusiastic biologists, chemists and physicists. To this end, this book spells out the skills and strategies of the successful science teacher in action. Drawing on years of teaching experience, Richard and Emily Giubertoni set out top tips for effective practice in all areas of a science teacher's role, from curriculum planning to managing practicals, from powerful hinterland stories to how to approach controversial topics. The useful approaches set out in this book will have value for science teachers at all stages of their careers, from trainee teachers to department leaders. Being an effective teacher is not innate: we can all learn to teach, to teach well, and to teach better. In this thoroughly comprehensive overview of science teaching in action, all science teachers will find ideas to strengthen, inspire and further develop their teaching practice, in a practical and pragmatic book that is enjoyable and engaging to read.
Real insight from leading experts in the field into the causes of the unique photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells, describing the fundamentals of perovskite materials and device architectures. The authors cover materials research and development, device fabrication and engineering methodologies, as well as current knowledge extending beyond perovskite photovoltaics, such as the novel spin physics and multiferroic properties of this family of materials. Aimed at a better and clearer understanding of the latest developments in the hybrid perovskite field, this is a must-have for material scientists, chemists, physicists and engineers entering or already working in this booming field.
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have attracted substantial interest due to their chemical variability, structural diversity and favorable physical properties the past decade. This materials class encompasses other important families such as formates, azides, dicyanamides, cyanides and dicyanometallates. The book summarizes the chemical variability and structural diversity of all known hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites subclasses including halides, azides, formates, dicyanamides, cyanides and dicyanometallates. It also presents a comprehensive account of their intriguing physical properties, including photovoltaic, optoelectronic, dielectric, magnetic, ferroelectric, ferroelastic and multiferroic properties. Moreover, the current challenges and future opportunities in this exciting field are also been discussed. This timely book shows the readers a complete landscape of hybrid organic-inorganic pervoskites and associated multifuctionalities.
This book embraces all physiochemical aspects of the structure and molecular dynamics of water, focusing on its role in biological objects, e.g. living cells and tissue, and in the formation of functionally active structures of biological molecules and their ensembles. Water is the single most abundant chemical found in all living things. It offers a detailed look into the latest modern physical methods for studying the molecular structure and dynamics of the water and provides a critical analysis of the existing literature data on the properties of water in biological objects. Water as a chemical reagent and as a medium for the formation of conditions for enzymatic catalysis is a core focus of this book. Although well suited for active researchers, the book as a whole, as well as each chapter on its own, can be used as fundamental reference material for graduate and undergraduate students throughout chemistry, physics, biophysics and biomedicine.
This comprehensive text, written by self-study scholars who are noted in the field for particular methodological and epistemological perspective, delineates a range of research methodologies.
